相對於過去幾年,Tiësto在2019沉寂了很多。起初我們不太瞭解理由,但到了九月,一切變得很明朗:因為終身大事太忙。
在美國猶他州沙漠完成了與Annika Backes的夢幻婚禮後,Tiësto緩緩的恢復了創作步調。本週他帶來與英國好聲音歌手Becky Hill合作的〈Nothing Really Matters〉,Becky Hill高亢的嗓音歌頌著不顧一切的愛情。歌曲發表同時附上了Lyric Video,影片中出現了空無一人的世界各大城市,取代熙攘人潮的是野花與蝴蝶,宛如殭屍電影經典《我是傳奇》的場景。〈Nothing Really Matters〉的Lyric Vide似乎想告訴人們,雖然疫情影響了大家的生活,但人類減少活動也讓環境變得更美好了。
從音樂性來看,〈Nothing Really Matters〉是走流行歌曲路線的Future House,而Future House也正是本週最強勢的樂種。兩位天王Oliver Heldens與EDX都在本週發表單曲,另外Danny Avila、PuFFcorn與Williams88等製作人也都有很不錯的作品,大家不妨在歌單中悉心挖掘。
從1999年創設以來,Bedrocks一直是Progressive House場景的中流砥柱。由於兩位頂樑柱John Digweed與Nick Muir的全力支持,Bedrocks的發行不但穩定且品質精良。本月John Digweed發表了《Quattro》,是一張耗時九個月製作的四大碟精選集。這部巨作蒐羅Bedrocks所發行過最好的作品,全面呈現了該廠牌在Progressive House、Melodic Techno、Downtempo與Ambient的獨特品味。無論是想瞭解Bedrocks歷史或是Progressive House美學,《Quattro》都是絕佳的入門作品。
